Treating And Preventing Stevens-Johnson Syndrome

Immune-Related Treatment

Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an immune-related reaction, and some individuals are genetically predispositioned to experience the reaction more than others. The reaction can also be caused by diseases that leave immune systems compromised.

Genetic testing before taking medication can help prevent the condition, but in the event it occurs, immune-related treatment can help speed up the recovery process. Immunotherapy boosts the body's natural defense system and can help speed up recovery. It's a popular form of treatment for cancer patients, but it can also be used to help burn victims.
